The SPIRE1 actin nucleator coordinates actin/myosin functions in the regulation of mitochondrial motility

F. Straub, T. Welz, H. Alberico, R. O. Brandao, A. Huber, A. Samol-Wolf, C. Brakebusch, D. Woods, M. Kollmar, J. Martin-Gonzalez, E. Kerkhoff

This study shows that SPIRE1 regulates mitochondrial motility by targeting myosin 5 and formin to mitochondria, inhibiting their movement.

Animal evolution coincides with a novel degree of freedom in exocytic transport processes

M. Kollmar, T. Welz, F. Straub, N. Alzahofi, K. Hatje, D. A. Briggs, A. Samol-Wolf, P. Burkhardt, A. Hume, E. Kerkhoff

The paper identifies the origin of a novel exocytic transport mechanism in early animal evolution, tracing SPIRE function to choanoflagellates and showing its role in coordinating actin/myosin forces for cellular communication.

Rab27a co-ordinates actin-dependent transport by controlling organelle-associated motors and track assembly proteins.

N. Alzahofi, C. L. Robinson, T. Welz, E. L. Page, D. A. Briggs, A. K. Stainthorp, J. Reekes, D. A. Elbe, F. Straub, E. W. Tate, P. S. Goff, E. V. Sviderskaya, M. Cantero, L. Montoliu, M. Bailly, , A. N. Hume

The paper shows Rab27a recruits SPIRE1/2 to melanosomes, linking motor and track assembly proteins to enable long-range organelle transport via actin tracks.
